The Return of the Marabou

Hi guys!!! Long time no speak!! Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to tell you guys about the return of my amazing Marabou bag!! I've had a lot of readers and friends ask me where I got my fluffy pink bag that I used in this post and I'm so glad that River Island have decided to bring back this beauty. The High Street brand had a preview of their Autumn/Winter 2014 collection on Wednesday, and among their key pieces was the Marabou bag, and in different colours too!! I can''t wait to snap up my own for winter.

By the way, there's no need to wait all the way until A/W to purchase your Marabou bag; this yellow beauty is now available on the RI website. You can buy yours here.

Thanks for passing by,

xoxo, K.O.

Dee Kalz & My Style Journal

So I had the opportunity of collaborating with an incredibly talented YouTube make up guru and a very good friend of mine, Dee Kalz. I honestly can't tell you guys how much fun we had; it was a day filled with excitement and laughter, intertwined with so many sporadic moments. The day actually started with Dee doing my make up and hair, followed by me styling her. Find Part 1 of our collaboration here on Dee's Youtube channel where she does my make up and Part 2 here where I styled her.

The Busy Bee

Wow! I am so so sorry for the lack of posts for such a long time, beauties, I've just been extremely busy as of late. Between planning my next few collaborations and styling projects, and my actual job I've just not had the time to blog. It's been a really busy start to the year but I assure you that you'll definitely be seeing the fruits of all my hard work on the blog pretty soon. 

My Style Journal: One Year On...

Wow, guys! It's been exactly one year since I started blogging and I am so excited to have reached this landmark! I remember being so skeptical before I started blogging; from figuring out what blog outlet to use to coming up with a name for my blog and then grappling with the fact that at the time - and even now - I didn't have a proper DSLR camera. But, I thank all those people who encouraged me to just start and do my best, and who are still encouraging me. You know yourselves ;)

Some of the major highlights on My Style Journal over the past year includes collaborating with the talented photography duo, E-F Media; I have had the pleasure of styling the members of New Era Records and of organising a fashion show in celebration of Nigeria's Independence Day. Honestly, God has been faithful.

The Vintage Point

Vintage has always been a style that I've admired, and this is just one of my interpretations of it. I think the detail and texture of this lace number is what adds such opulence to this outfit. It's so beautiful!
